Coaches out

Let’s not go back. Or get random coaches from west wales. A consultant maybe. One thing I think is missing is an understanding of the club and the passion amongst the greats on match days. Brad was very affected by the likes of Phil Bennett having a chat after the game and explaining the importance of the Scarlets. It builds responsibility. Sadly, in this era of COVID everything feels cold and soulless. I am prepared to give the team until Christmas - changing things now won’t achieve a great deal. Get Barclay in for a couple of months to build the passion again. The team could do with having a bit of fun together but where can they go? Difficult times. 

Was it on reflection, a mistake bringing in Richard Kelly for Ioan Cunningham who was pretty much respected by the forwards  I thought?🤔 it’s the pack who aren’t really gelling and when you watch the Leinster team last night you saw how they moved in 2 or more forwards close by, not in ones, which we seem to be a bit prone to and losing momentum as well as risking isolation.

Dai Young would be a very good shout as Head Coach though.

He hasn't coached at professional level since 2007...

What's Sean Holley doing these days?  Doubt Sean Holley would be interested. He’s got the easy life of being a pundit. No way would I want Howley! Or Lyn Jones! Not even on a short term/interim basis. Dai Young the only name that should be considered from that list. Holley hasn't got a clue, he's worse than what we've got. With Fiji in meltdown could Vern Cotter be persuaded? Could we afford him? Seriously? Holley is one of the most successful coaches out there.

Was !

Keep Holley as far from PYS as possible.

Even Mc Bryde had neegativity yet somehow good enough for being hand picked at a slightly successful Irish club 🤨 People talk such rubbish sometimes. Let’s keep on demeaning our own . It’s the Welsh way after all 😂 no wonder people opt to go outside Wales or go to punditry  to avoid all this .
